RE: Those Days Are Long Gone

Everything that’s easily available tends to lose its value for us. That’s just how we’re wired. And with age, our priorities shift — things like health start to matter more than fashionable stuff.

A lot of people are pushed by society to follow certain rules, and by the end of their lives they realize they were living someone else’s life, not their own. Some never even manage to see that.

Under communism in the USSR, people didn’t have much, yet many of them were happy and remember those times warmly. Friendships felt real, and there was less to divide people. In contrast to what many see today as a more selfish, greedy, and transactional form of capitalism.

(Just my late-night stream of thoughts.) 😂
Stupid translator, translated everything incorrectly again.

I know exactly what you mean and agree with it. One thing I hate is mass production and most likely it comes from my childhood, I can't stand to wear the same fashion items that the masses are wearing.

Kind of feel sorry for those who can't break out of this circle, following the trend set by others and wasting their money on things they don't particularly like, but feel it's a must for their social standard.
